Following several major fairs in Germany, Maison&Objet Paris has also announced the postponement of its January edition. The spring edition will be moved from 20 to 24 January 2022 to 24 to 28 March 2022. The autumn edition will continue to take place in September, from 8 to 12 September 2022.
The reason for the postponement is obvious: the advance of the Omicron variant during the current COVID-19 pandemic. The organisation distributed the following statement:
24-28 March and 8-12 September
“Facing the peak of contamination, several countries are currently taking restrictive measures regarding international travel. Measures which, we see, are now delaying or discouraging some visitors from confirming their attendance. In addition, the French government has just announced this Monday, December 27th 2021 a 2.000 people gauge for major events, probably fairs such as Maison&Objet Paris. Under these circumstances, seeking to avoid a risky situation and committed to making all efforts to ensure an optimal return on investment for exhibitors, buyers and specifiers, the SAFI therefore decides to postpone the next session of the Maison&Objet trade event from 24th to 28th March 2022. Period for which we hope to see an improvement in the situation.
“Exhibitors who have already confirmed their registration and location may have the same location conditions, which will allow them to keep the same stand showcase. Likewise, visitors who have already ordered their badges for the January edition will of course have access to the show from March 24th to 28th, 2022.”
Maison&Objet In The City
With an opening scheduled for the day before, Maison&Objet In The City, an event organised on the sidelines of the Maison&Objet fair and offering a journey of discoveries in the heart of Parisian showrooms, will be held from 23 to 28 March 2022. By postponing the show until the end of Q1, SAFI states it wishes to bring together the best operational and healthy conditions to allow actors in the art of living, decoration, and design to be inspired, to accelerate their development. and to forge new business relationships.
